I mean, it won't happen, but Dame/Ant/Little/AD/Nurk with Hart/WInslow/Ingles/Brown/Watford off the bench is a title favorite for next season. And still armed with TPE to increase depth
Dude literally sat out a year because he didn't want to play with the spurs lol. IIRC, of course. I just remember a big kurfuffle.
if you could do that deal it’s a no brainer there is no player available even close to being at his level that we could trade for Injury or not I’d take my chances on an elite player who makes you a western conference threat. For god sakes we are hoping for Grant who is an ok player but no where near AD. Doesn’t matter they’d get way more than that for AD and that should tell you people are undervaluing him.
Im not undervaluing him as a player, but we’re talking about giving up multiple lottery picks for someone that has never played a full season, and hasn’t played more than 70 games since 2017. Guys don’t get more durable as they age. He’s been in the league ten years now, I don’t see it getting better.
respect your opinion and see your point but still think I’d take that chance all you need is healthy AD, Dame, Simons and Nurk for palyoffs and you have a top 4 western conference team with chance to win it all.
If LA were going to consider trading Davis it would be to immediately put a winning team around LeBron, not some future potential crap like picks. LeBron is fading and he isn’t getting goosebumps to play with Bledsoe and a couple rooks. the other question is, what would other teams give up? I’m guessing the Blazers would need to trade Simons, and that price is too high in my book. Would you trade Dame for two decent 1st and a scrub? Fuck no. But Dame is 31, coming off injury and doesn’t have a ring. Don’t get me wrong, I think Dame is worth more than AD but I’m guessing their value is not insanely different. Whatever package would grab AD, add one more decent 1st and that’s probably Dames value.
If you traded for AD, you’ve got to give him the “old, aging player” treatment and only play him about 50 games, no back to backs, and still pray he doesn’t get injured. oh, and hope the rest of your team is good enough to make the playoffs with a part time player I’d rather not deal with him honestly.
